Leyland Festival Parade

Leyland Festival Parade Will Celebrate Heroes in Leyland! 🌟

This year, the parade vehicles will line up on Hough Lane from 11:00 AM, offering a chance for photographs with all sorts of cars, including military and specialist vehicles. At 12 noon, these will head off to Worden Park, followed closely by the main parade, which this year promises to be bigger and better with floats galore!

Floats, walking groups, dance troupes, bands, vehicles, and entertainers will all take to the streets on Saturday, 14th June for the Leyland Festival Parade. They will bring a spirit of celebration and admiration for heroes, bursting with color, energy, and enthusiasm.

The traditional Festival parade is a much-loved part of Leyland Festival, dating back to the very first Leyland Festival held in May 1889. (For more about the Festival’s history, visit Leyland Library to see their display of Festival history taken from local archives.) The Festival has evolved over the years, but the parade remains a central part of the day’s festivities.

This year, community groups, charities, and businesses are preparing a variety of floats and parade performances, all themed around heroes—from superheroes to nurses to sports heroes. You can be anyone! We cannot wait to see what they have in store!
